Prime Minister Kamla Persad-­Bissessar says a di­plomatic dele­gation to Ven­ez­uela will depart Trinidad and Tobago shortly as the Government seeks to ensure T&T gets its “just share of the oil and gas that we partly own through the (National Gas Company)”.

Persad-Bissessar made the announcement yesterday as she spoke during the commissioning of fire tenders at the Penal Fire Station.

In addition to promoting the safety and security of the nation through the commissioning of a fleet of six fire vehicles, the Prime Minister said her Government was also securing the nation’s safety and security “in the economic space”.
